Crashed in unknown circumstances.

Crashed in unknown circumstances. There were no casualties.

After takeoff from Guryev Airport, while climbing to an altitude of 900 metres, the right engine lost power and flamed out. The crew shut down the engine and feathered the propeller before completing a circuit to return to the airport. On final, the crew encountered icing conditions and as the aircraft was not properly aligned, the captain decided to initiate a go-around when the aircraft lost height and crashed in a field with its undercarriage partially retracted. The aircraft slid for 418 metres before coming to rest 6 km from the airport. All 51 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After landing at Batumi Airport, the aircraft encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance. It overran and lost its nose gear before coming to rest. There were no casualties while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It was reported that the runway had not been thoroughly cleared from snow.

The twin engine aircraft was completing a special flight from Dushanbe to Lyakhsh on behalf of the Tajik Civil Aviation Department. For unknown reasons, the crew continued the approach at an insufficient altitude when the unstabilized aircraft struck the ground 210 metres short of runway and 50 metres to the right of its extended centerline. On impact, the undercarriage were torn off and the aircraft came to rest. All 13 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

For unknown reasons, the three engine aircraft landed hard on its nose, causing the nose gear to collapse. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The exact date of the mishap remains unknown, somewhere in 1991.

The crew started the takeoff procedure in white conditions and blizzard. The pilot-in-command completed the rotation prematurely while the aircraft's speed was insufficient. At liftoff, the right wing stalled and struck the snow on the right side of the runway. The aircraft then continued for few dozen metres, struck a tree and an embankment before coming to rest, bursting into flames. Fire was quickly extinguished but the aircraft was written off. Eight passengers and three crew members were injured.

On the leg from Kungrad to the KS-7 Airfield at Komsomolsk-na-Ustyurte of a flight from Kungrad to Karakalpakiya with 2 unauthorized passengers on board, when the crew encountered below minima weather conditions (poor visibility) upon arrival. The crew failed to return, lost visual contact with the ground and deviated from the approach path so the aircraft collided at a height of 35 metres with a 52 metres high drilling tower, crashed and caught fire. A pilot and a passenger were killed while both survivors were seriously injured.

During the last segment, at a height of about six metres, the crew reduced engine power to idle, causing the aircraft to sink rapidly and to struck the runway surface with a positive acceleration of 4,25 g. All 13 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a cargo flight from Lobito to Cazombo with an intermediate stop in Luena. On final approach to Cazombo Airport, the crew realized the runway was too short and too narrow when both wings hit bushes upon landing. After touchdown, the crew was informed about the presence of landmines in the airfield and decided to take off immediately. While turning to do so, the right main gear struck a pothole and collapsed, causing the propeller of the engine n°4 to struck the ground. The aircraft came to rest and all six occupants evacuated safely. The aircraft was not repaired.
